Обзор Xiaomi Black Shark 6/64GB

Currently, the gaming industry is in its prime, which is largely spurred by the "mobile players". What is worth at least a portable version of the most popular game PUBG. Of course, top-end devices (and the average price segment) are able to "pull" modern games, but games are not designed for a long time, and convenience leaves much to be desired. Probably, this prompted the Chinese company Xiaomi to release a powerful game smartphone Black Shark.

The Black Shark logo can flash when an incoming call or message is received. Also, the logo can be active during the game. In the game "Lord of Honor" he begins to blink during the victory over the enemies.

The smartphone dials 268478 points and becomes the most productive smartphone according to AnTuTu version.

Image processing

The Xiaomi Black Shark smartphone is equipped with an independent image processor with MEMC frame interpolation technology. This technology is used in modern LCD TVs. The application of this technology increases the initial frame rate. At the same time, an independent image processing chip creates a brighter image with more details, which is clearly visible in comparison with another smartphone.

The Black Shark game controller uses a Bluetooth connection with an ultra low charge level for pairing. With the capacity of the 340 mAh battery, the manufacturer declares up to 15 days of operation from one charge.

Impressions from using a regular gamepad are positive. Due to the increased long gadget grip more convenient, mechanical elements are located conveniently, the sensitivity is high, and the response time is low. In general, the use of this accessory gives an advantage over other players (as, indeed, any similar gamepad).

Game Test

The game smartphone Black Shark is equipped with the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor at the time of its release, using the 10-nm process technology. Game tests were conducted on "King Glory" and "PUBG Mobile".

On the maximum chart, the frame rate in the game remains stable at 40 frames per second. This is due to the fact that a simply large frame rate is not yet available. The frame rate remains stable at the level of 40 frames even after a long game.

We measure the temperature

For the first time among smartphones, the Xiaomi Black Shark uses a multi-stage liquid cooling system that reduces the temperature of all modules with a high level of heat. Compared with the air cooling system, the applied model is more efficient in 20 times, which allows the processor to sustainably high power for a long time.

The usual temperature of the game smartphone Xiaomi Black Shark in standby mode is about 27 degrees. After 30 minutes of games, the temperature rises to about 37 degrees. After exiting the game and entering the standby mode, the temperature drops to the normal value in just a couple of minutes. Of course, this can be achieved thanks to a liquid cooling system that dissipates heat very efficiently, which in turn contributes to high productivity.
